Up, Up, and Away

I haven't had a chance to post much about my trip to Florida. I attended the Nebula Awards for science fiction and fantasy writing, and watched the awe-inspiring final launch of the Space Shuttle Atlantis from one of the official NASA viewing areas. I don't have time to go into details here, but here's a photo.

Who Am I?

I am a published author of 28 books for children and young adults, a former magazine editor, and mom to an 8th-grader. My published works include 20 books for Sweet Valley High and other teen fiction series, all written under pseudonyms. My nonfiction kids' books, written under my own name, are on topics ranging from Dragons to Stonehenge to the Cherokee Indians. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, drawing, photography, traveling, overthrowing the governments of small countries, befriending dragons, slaying demons, and ruining my son's life by making him do his homework.
